TWO KILLED,
While a Third Unfortunate Receives Possibly
Fatal Wounds
DEpLORABLE ACCIDENT TBELLAIRE
A Gang Of WOrkmsn Knocked from the
Railroad Bridge by an Engine.
HOW The SAD MISHAP OCCURRED.

A deplorable accident, which resulted In
the instant death Of two men and the Sc
we're injury of another, occurred at Bellaire
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Passen-
ger engine No. 7O5, with Wills. Wildman,
of Newark, O., as driver, was backing over
the stone bridge Of the B. & o. for Ben
wood to bring train No. AZ to this city
when the accident occurred.
A force of section men have been making
repairs, and as the bridge not wide enough
to allow a man to stand on one side while
cars are passing, the workmen have been
in the habit of keeping flagmsn out and
working until warned of danger and then
escaping to small platform built for their
protection.
Edward Duffy, the section boss, was out
with the flag, and although he waved in
dustriously for the engineer to stop, there
was no air applied, and the poor fellow
seeing his predicament when it was too
late. was unable to save himself. He was
struck by the tender of the engine and
thrown to the ground below, distance OF
perhaps so feet.
The engineer was not aware Of the acct
dent and soon more OF the men found
themselves in the same position as the un-
fortunate Duffy. They, however, mad the
presence of mind to lay fat on the ties,
but one of them, Patrick Barrett by name,
received fatal injuries. Some part OF the
machinery under the engine struck him on
the forehead. The other Jared much bet
ter, his injuries being of painful but not
necessarily fatal nature. Both men were
dragged a considerable distance. The name
of the third unfortunate is VIM. Hardin,
of Marshall county, w. Va. He has been
in the employ OF the b. & o. but short
time. When laid in his bed Hardin COM
planned considerably about his back,
which seems to have been bruised badly
by the dragging he got.
The dead men were removed to their
homes in the Second ward as soon as pos
sibIe, while DR.. c. f. Kurz, the company s
physician, turned his tention to Hardin
and him comfortably put to bed at his
boarding place in the Fourth ward.
Mr.. Duffy was about 55 years of age and
leaves a wife and five children.
Mr.. Barrett wac few years younger
than the above named gentleman and
leaves a mother, wife and son, who de-
pended on him for support.
A good deal of loud talk derogatory OF
the engineer who caused the fatal accident
was INDUCED in, but last night the excite
ment had cooled down somewhat. Mr.
Wildman took his regular train TO New
ark last evening. 1t is said that repairs
have been in progress on the bridge every
day for the past two weeks and that the
company has notices up warning all engi-
neers to be on the look out for section
hands when crossing the bridge.

A CALAMITY.
BridgspOrts Chief Industry a Mass Of Blazing
Ruins.
The LOSS NEARLY 100000,
With About $4,000 of Insurance 10 Offset
the Damage.
VIEW THE Big BLAZE.

Last evening our neighboring town OF
Bridgeport was visited by calamity,
the effects of which will be felt by the citi'
Gems OF the community for many a day,
while the immediate loss to the owners OF
the property destroyed will not fall much
short of an even 100000. This calamity
was the destruction by fire of the extensive
plant of the la Belle Glass Company, not
only the buildings and machinery being
consumed or damaged beyond repair, but
nearly all the stock in the possession of the
company is also total loss.
The origin of the lire is as yet something
of mystery. Two or three theories were
in circulation last night as to the cause OF
the blaze, but as yet little is known def
nitely, and it will require an extended IL
vestigatiOD, probably, to ascertain the
facts.
The La Belle Company, and the town in
which its plant is situated, have the earnest
sympathy of all on this side OF the river,
and it is to he sincerely hoped that both
may recover from the present calamity
now hanging over them.

MARGARET MATHER.

Her Presentation of outlet" Splendid
One-As .'Juliana" In the "Honey.
moon"
The presentation of outlet" by Miss
Margaret Mather, at the Opera House, yes
terday afternoon, was without doubt the
finest portrayal OF The character ever seen
by a Wheeling audience. Those present
early perceived that the lady who claimed
their attention was fairly entitled to the
claim of the most talented actress now
upon the American stage, made for her
nv her countless friends, and before
the first act was closed there were to
be heard upon all sides whispered
comments OF approval, which burst into
hearty applause at the earliest opportunity.
II is difficult to point out the elements OF
success in Miss Mather, but it is impossl-
BILE to deny that she is in every respect an
artistic of the highest standard-and yet
there looms up the assurance that still
brighter future awaits her. Beautiful IN
face, graceful in form, and with talent OF a
most unusual kind, she seems, while
standing at the top of her profession, to I'M
press the spectator with the idea that she
is yet on the very threshold OF career
which is full OF promise.
'Juliet" is a character which seems
pecal!arly adapted to Miss Mather, and by
contrast both tne 0tEeY roles she essayed
while In this city suffer. The portrayal OF
the tender passion, as conceived by Shakes
peare. seems to fall most easily within her
powers, and she enter into the character
with depth of feeling which seemed to
be lacking in both Leah and "Juliana. "
Yet IL mast not be understood that these
roles were not we'll done. Fer from that.
Miss Mather is great in all-but greatest as
Juliet"
The supporting company is an excellent
one. and most all are entitled to honorable
mention. The "Mercutio" of Mr.. Pauld-
ing was a fine effort, while Mr.. Levick
made 'GomeO" as "tender aud true" as
the most exacting could desire. The
"Nurse" of Mrs. Sol. Smith was excellent
The stage setting was at all times COM
mendable.

An UnIustifiabIe Assault

The InteHigencer of yesterday morning,

which all the sensational features were
rolled as a sweet mOrsel under the tongue,
and two or three side issues drawn IN ia

made an accusation agaist Mr. p. B. Dob

HEATERS AND BOILERs MREIING

Held Yesterday Afternoon. Looking to Or
eanization Into tho A. A. /. 8. w.
In response to o call for meeting Of the
nail-plate heaters and helpers and rollers
and roll-hapds of the Ohio Valley, quite a
number of them assembled yesterday after
noon at Trades Assembly Hall, on Market
street. The object of the meeting, as Is
well known, was to devise ways and means
for bringing the heaters and rollers and
their helpers into the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation-thst is, all those who are not al
ready members. Not more than one or
two mills in this vicinity are paying Anal
gamated Association prides in the nail
plate departments, and for some time past
an effort has been made to organize them
as we'll as all other unorganized labor into
the Association.
The Mingo mill, whose heaters are Anal
gamated men, has been shut down since
July first, as the men are out on strike
for Amalgamated prices and the strike 10
on also at the brilliant and Laughlin mills
but at the latter other men have replaced
the strikers and the mill has not been
stopped on that account. An attempt
will now be made to organize the nail
plate department men so that they may be
in q position to strike for Amalgamated
prices should the occasion arise, and 1t has
already arisen.
President William Weihe, Of the Asso-
casion, was at the meeting yesterday and
presided over its deliberations. The mat
ter was discussed generally, and the pros
poets of effecting the organization was
talked of. Nothing further was done,
however, than the appointment Of COM
mittee TO wait upon the men regarding the
matter and attempt to induce them to Or
ganize. 1t ia understood il the heaters
and rollers and their helpers can be organ
lied into the Association it is the intention
to bring other unorganized branches into
line afterwards.

"fHE HONEYMOON"
# evening MissIather showed what she

Last evening MissMather showed what she
could do in comedy. The Honeymoon"
IL a GOOD deal after the style of Shakes
peare's Tanning OF the Shrew," and was
presented with Miss Mather as "Jullana."
The piece is pleasing one and in it Miss
Mather finds excellent opportunity for the
display of her high qualities. As the
proud woman of society she wears the
womanly dignity Of a queen. In the very
next Rcea& her elegance is found
contrasting strikinsiy yith the
humble quarters TO which her
bridegroom has brought her under
pretence of taking her to to ducal palace.
Her Duke" is Mines Leyick, who can
play the man of noble command and iron
will probably as no other supporter on the
stage can. Then comes the flashing OF her
eyeS, the drawing up of her whole form to
its greatest ne.g,s.t and the wrathiul de-
nunciation of her deceiVef. tEe changes
in her countenance as she defeS her lord,
and then Yields as she sees the keys to her
chamber are wonderful. Gradually the rage
and spite give way u better enc poDler
feelings Is she discovers her husbands zeal
love and manlipess. Flattery also shows
her a woman. And then, when well sub
dued, comes the opportunity for her to
show her grace as she finds that her mas
ter is reailya Duke. But with all this
fine display there is some feeling that the
rsrt is not great enough for her, that she
belongs soneYhere where even deeper and
higher traits of woman's character are to
be displayed. Nevertheless, all great
artists must have some comedies IN their
repertoire, and in choosing this Miss
Mather has chosen we'll. The support was

Morrison and Brown, of Lawrence county,

w. w. Bradshaw, who had made an assault
upon citizen of that county with intent
TO commit murder, and who had been
traced to this city. The Chief after look
ing about the city, spotted his man at the
new building belonging to the Zane estate

information could be given concerning the
exact amount. The insurance is placed
with +. c. Robinson, of Bridgeport, and
John NJ. Brown, Of this city.
THE ORIGIN.
The origin of the fire is shrouded in mys-
tery, and no one is able to give any reason
able solution. It was averred by one Oh
the workmen that the natural gas In the
furnace was not burning entirely satisfac-
torily, and that it was possible that leak
and small explosion might be the primary
cause. Another theory attributed the
blaze to a spark from C., L. q w. engine
which was standing on the siding IN the
evening. This theory, however, Is very
gauzy. The actual cause will probably
always remain q mystery.
A great deal of praise is due to the young
ladies who worked about the concern,
many of them who lived in the vicinity
having come to the fire and rendered val
liable service in saving ware. One girl was
seen who had scorched her face terribly.
